Patient's question:
It has been a week since I had the circumcision surgery. The day before yesterday, I called the doctor to ask if I could remove the gauze and stitches. The doctor said the gauze could be removed by myself, and the stitches would gradually fall off. After I removed the gauze, walking was extremely painful (the stitches were not removed). The only issue is peeling, and I'm definitely not sure if it's contagious. Is there a doctor who can help me? Thank you for this platform.Doctor's answer:
The above situation, as of now, is not contagious, and a full recovery is also quite good. This condition does not require special treatment; it is sufficient to pay attention to the cleanliness of the external genitalia, and local povidone-iodine treatment can also be administered. In addition to symptomatic treatment for male urological diseases, patients should also pay attention to their diet, such as maintaining a light diet and avoiding spicy and irritating foods. At the same time, patients should also pay attention to choosing a reputable hospital for treatment to achieve good therapeutic effects.
